Some PATH service from Hoboken to Manhattan to resume Wednesday

HOBOKEN, N.J. - PATH rail service at the Hoboken station will resume on Wednesday morning.

Officials say service between Hoboken and the 33rd Street station in Manhattan will begin at 5 a.m. Trains initially will run daily in both directions until 10 p.m.

With this latest service restoration following Superstorm Sandy, travelers now can access the entire PATH system between New Jersey and New York. The return of Hoboken service provides more than 29,000 commuters with restored mass transit between Hoboken and Midtown Manhattan.

Sandy decimated the entire PATH system, flooding the tunnels with up to eight feet of water, and destroying critical signal and switching systems.

Officials say the return of limited 24-hour PATH service is expected by year's end and in time for New Year's Eve.
